Eight or ten years ago my former husband and I celebrated an anniversary on Martha’s Vineyard. I think it was Labor Day weekend and, to kill time before our ferry departure, we squeezed into the Black Dog Cafe in Vineyard Haven for a final indulgent breakfast. After we were seated, I noticed the father and … Continue reading BlacKKKlansman

Rome in films
I don’t think I’ve ever been so prepared for a trip before. I’ve been basically packed and ready for almost a week already and I’m actually looking forward to Penn Station because it gets me more near to Newark Airport which makes me that much closer to Rome... Since time seems to moving at a … Continue reading Rome in films
Crying with a “purpose” and laughing when “life is beautiful”
“A Dog’s Purpose” crushed me. I knew it was a bad idea to watch this movie, yet cuddled on the couch with my boy, I thought I’d make it through ok. I didn’t.

I've seen 5 in the last couple of weeks, a combination of new releases and catching up on older releases that I hadn't previously seen. It's kind of what happens when you've exhausted all the other options in our Hulu, … Continue reading Films x 5
Guardians of the Galaxy, v2
It had been a pretty terrific Monday. I got to the bank, took care of payroll for the second to last time and had a reasonably productive day at work. Dinner was takeout, restaurant kitchen linens were in the washer (for the last time) and Quinn and I made it to the Spectrum in time … Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy, v2
